I accept these are all important questions. Could I bring Dr. Greene in on that point? Having visited Waterford and Kilkenny, those two cities, to my eye, have preserved well many of their archeological and heritage aspects. I know very little about this. I have no expertise in this area. To my uninformed eye, this looks good. How does the preservation of a site or artefact and constructing around it, in a sympathetic manner, fit in with the Valletta principles in terms of preserving the landscape around it? How do we get to a position where we get that balance right?
